Orange Tarp

when I'm just walking around and something makes me screech to a halt and my eyeballs shoot out like binoculars and I gotta drop everything to take photos

ugh yeah that's the good shit

@lichen-spotted

Do u think V1's armour plating soaks up blood like gym chalk.

elaborate? please???????

“Magnesium carbonate chalk is commonly used as a drying agent to obtain better grip by gymnasts and rock climbers.”

maybe gym as in short for gymnastics???

“Chalk is highly porous, with typical values of porosity ranging from 35 to 47 per cent.”

WILD amount for a rock

okay what are some others to compare with….

sea sponges: “Results showed that all studied sponges have porous skeletons with porosity higher than 68%” (https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/marine-science/articles/10.3389/fmars.2020.613647/full)

and another rock, pumice: “Pumice has a porosity of 64–85% by volume and it floats on water, possibly for years, until it eventually becomes waterlogged and sinks.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumice?wprov=sfti1#Properties)

Those are more absorbent, but were formed in different conditions;

pumice is ingenues rock where as chalk is a sedimentary type. and well,,, sponges are skeletons of …idk but I like how thier wikipedia article described it. “Like cnidarians (jellyfish, etc.) and ctenophores (comb jellies), and unlike all other known metazoans, sponges' bodies consist of a non-living jelly-like mass (mesohyl) sandwiched between two main layers of cells.”

Also for the differences in hardness/ texture:

Chalk is a form of sandstone (with alot of calcuim in it), Pumice is a the bubble foam of volcanic glass, and sponges (thier ‘bones’ / the sponge we use) are mostly Collogen structures. Hence the differences of ‘this one’s crumbly’, ‘this one is abrasive’, and ‘squishy :3’.

The only info I could find on chalk absorbing blood was a climber’s forum post from 2009 saying: “Think about all the chalk we cram into open cuts to stop the bleeding. I have yet to get an infection in anyone of those cuts. I can count six spots on my hands right now that are healing up nicely.” (https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/106347669/chalk-dust) In that case the absorption of the chalk worked as a desiccant for wounds on the hands- is my takeaway?

Anyways,,, so chalk isn’t as absorbant as say, a pumice or a sponge… but as far as rocks go, it’s very absorbant. It also stays mostly the same shape and doesn’t look too wet on the outside - when soaked.

This was a mostly unrelated tangent to the Ultrakill subject but for some reason my rock curiosity was intrigued by this concept. :]

I’m not familiar with the design or playstyle of V1… but that’s what I could scrounge up on the Rock Context ™. apologies or your welcome?

literally anything handmade is so dope. idc what it is it could be anything. a quilt, a painting, a basket, a sweater, a wooden table, a shed, a meal. how magical

The mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell is a fact which is often discussed on the internet. The Golgi apparatus, however, being the post office of the cell, has not gotten nearly as much recognition. This is in line with the years-long underfunding of the postal service, which provides a deeply important service to society yet does not get the recognition it deserves. In this essay I will
